Owning a heritage place

If you own, or plan to purchase, a heritage listed place you may have some concerns about how listing will affect your use and enjoyment of it. Some people fear that anything they do to the property will reduce its significance and most people fear the possible restrictions that heritage listing may impose on their ownership.

Importantly, any place entered in the SA Heritage Register remains the property of the owner. The public does not gain any right of access to the place.
